@ fox: listened to your fill in, and wanted to recommend a book to you which relates tangentially to issues of public space. it's from 2002, titled design and crime by hal foster and reuses the idea of "running room" first coined by karl kraus and adolf loos early in 20th c. in relation to art nouveau and its over design as causing a lack of" running room", the psychic space between subject and object ... art nouveau being analogous to the encroachment of technology today

Or should that be brambles of blackberries? Seems that both are permissible. In the Blue Moiuntains near Sydney, where I grew up, blackberries were classified as a noxious weed. The silly Brits brought them over and they wreak ecological havoc in the Australian bush.

I've been really angry ever since I realized that the recommendation of not eating fish or seafood more than twice a week was something that happened in MY LIFETIME, and it's human caused, and we've not even tried to fix it, just let it continue to multiply.

I'm so angry that people and other animals who have relied on the ocean and freshwater lakes for thousands of years get poisoned from it.
